Edit a Composer Configuration File
You can edit the properties for your Composer configuration in the configuration files. For a complete list of configuration files, see Configuration Property Files.
/opt/zoomdata/conf
directory (Linux) or <install-path>/conf
(Windows). Copy the files you want to change to the /etc/zoomdata
directory (Linux) or <install-path>/conf-modify
(Windows) and change them there. This will ensure that your changes are not overwritten when Composer is next upgraded.
Quickly determine what changes you've made to a properties file using diff
in Linux. For example:
diff /opt/zoomdata/conf/edc-<connector-name>.properties /etc/zoomdata/<edc-<connector-name>.properties
or
diff /opt/zoomdata/conf/zoomdata.properties /etc/zoomdata/zoomdata.properties
For Windows environments, use your preferred diff utility to compare the differences between your original and updated property files.
To edit a Composer configuration file in Linux:
From your terminal, SSH to your Composer server.
-
Stop the appropriate Composer microservice (Composer, Screenshot, or the specific connector server).
For the appropriate Linux command, see Stop Composer Microservices.
-
Use the following command to access and open the configuration file:
vi /etc/zoomdata/<config-file-name>
For example:
vi /etc/zoomdata/zoomdata.properties
Names of valid configuration files are listed in Configuration Property Files.
If the configuration file does not exist, this command creates it.
Note: If you are not logged in as a root user, then you need to entersudo vi /etc/zoomdata/zoomdata.properties
to create the desired file.Make sure the file is readable by the
zoomdata
microservice account. -
Add the new variable or property into the file on a new line or edit an existing one, as needed. See:
Save and exit the configuration file.
-
Restart Composer microservices.
For the appropriate Linux command line, see Restart Composer Microservices.
To edit a Composer configuration file in Windows:
-
Open the configuration file using a text editor that can edit Windows property files.
Names of valid configuration files are listed in Configuration Property Files.
-
Stop the appropriate Composer microservice (Composer, Screenshot, or the specific connector server).
For the appropriate Windows commands, see Windows Bootstrap Reference.
-
Add the new variable or property into the file on a new line or edit an existing one, as needed. See:
Save and exit the configuration file.
-
Restart Composer microservices.
For the appropriate Windows commands, see Windows Bootstrap Reference.
Wait a few minutes for the microservice to restart completely, then open a new browser window to log back into Composer. Confirm that your changes have taken effect.
